You could write a fairly simple backup script using rsync and tar.

Level 0 - Full backups
	rsync -avz --exclude=exclude_file.txt / /backup

where exclude file has /dev /proc /backup at least.  Set this to run via 
cron once per week.

Level 1 - Incremental
	tar clf --newer-mtime SOMETIME --exclude=/proc --exclude=/backup 
--exclude=/dev level1.tar.gz /

Where SOMETIME is the day the original backups were taken.  Set this to 
run via cron every day.
